So you need to go pronto the the Navy and tell them that based on your expertise that they have nothing to worry about and the Admirals that are worried need to chill, right?
Sure there is a threat. But, this is mostly about wanting more money. We recently added a fleet operation in the area as well as an OPFOR unit, due to the Russians finally getting there 1977 designs to factory...and they have all of 3 new subs.
The Admirals duty is to get more funding to alleviate the threat. They know exactly, as I do, that every nuclear sub is tracked and monitored.
There is only a contextual threat, due to limited operations of the Russian Navy. Now, that is on the uptick, but they have so few resources, that they are in check.
Their shit is mostly old. You need to do more research in the area.
I get your drift but it does raise questions for us arm chair rambos who never served and have no knowledge of our military's readiness or capabilities. Is the post WW2 American military truly as strong as it claims? Is all the tech prowess all smoke and mirrors? Is all the money spent over the decades done nothing but enrich the MIC? As we incorrectly thought that the military general staff would always side with conservatives and patriots, are we mistaken again about the US military's prowess?
